Four LIS students have received $1000 scholarships from the Maui Friends of the Library (MFOL). They are Pearl DeSure, Shavonn Matsuda, Michelle Santiago, and Barbara Trecker.

The MFOL scholarships are offered to Maui County residents pursuing a career in library and information science. MFOL is a non-profit organization that supports public libraries and the wide variety of services they offer to Maui community residents. The organization operates a used bookstore behind the Puunene School and several book sale tables located in Maui County Public Libraries. It uses the proceeds to support the provision of materials and services to public libraries.
